"Of course, otherwise how would I know there's something down there?" Chen Feng pulled her to another place.
"About thirty centimeters deep, start digging."
Xia Yingying swung the shovel with boundless energy, her smile never fading.
A short while later, she dug out another gold bracelet.
"Hahaha, this Chen Feng is going to be rich!" Xia Yingying was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
"This is awesome, put it in quickly, right next to it, just dig it out from the pit to the side, there's more," Chen Feng instructed her.
"There's more? This is a double-yolk egg!" Xia Yingying's face lit up with surprise upon hearing this. She immediately bent down and started digging with a sand shovel.
Sure enough, after a few scoops, she pulled out another gold earring. This time it wasn't very big, probably worth a thousand or eight hundred yuan.
"Wow! Hahaha, Chen Feng, you're amazing! You've covered our travel and hotel expenses for this trip!" Xia Yingying never expected that not only would she not spend any money on this trip, but she would actually make money.
“This is much more fun than building castles. Come on, let’s keep digging.” Chen Feng led her to the next location.
"So much fun, hahaha!" Xia Yingying was having a blast. She was digging wherever Chen Feng pointed. This treasure hunt was just too awesome.
In comparison, building castles is just a kids' game, not fun at all!
The two of them dug like that until the afternoon. Stimulated by the gold, Xia Yingying didn't even feel hungry.
Of course, the harvest was also obvious; the small bucket was filled to half full, and it contained all sorts of things.
Gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold pendants, silver bracelets, rings, and platinum earrings.
They even dug up a diamond ring, which was purely accidental. Chen Feng didn't know it was a diamond ring and thought it was a platinum ring.
When they dug it up, they found it was a diamond ring, which surprised Chen Feng.
Of course, a diamond ring is valuable when bought, but not when sold. It's just a bonus, an unexpected prize.
"Chen Feng, I'm a little too tired to dig anymore. How about we find a place to eat?" Xia Yingying slumped on the ground, looking up at Chen Feng pitifully.
"Okay, let's go eat. You can come back and play after you eat if you want." Chen Feng pinched her cheek, picked up the small bucket, and led her back by the hand.
Don't ask where the two sand shovels went; Xia Yingying has already smashed one of them. The things sold at the stall are indeed not sturdy.
Back in the car, they emptied all the jewelry, brushed off the sand, and Xia Yingying took an electronic scale from the back seat.
This is the professionalism of gold prospectors: an electronic scale is an essential item they carry with them.
"Take a look, how much are these things worth?" Xia Yingying said curiously, looking at the electronic scale.
After sorting and weighing the items quickly, Chen Feng looked at his phone and said, "Totaling all of these is over 264,000."
"My God, in just half a day, I actually earned 260,000! Hahaha, this is not only enough for travel expenses, but also enough for ten trips!" Xia Yingying looked at the pile of gold with excitement, her eyes sparkling.
If others saw this, they would probably think they were up to no good, after all, this pile of gold jewelry looks too intimidating.
"How are we going to dispose of the stolen goods... uh, how are we going to sell them?" Xia Yingying couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, let's take it home and cook it right away, it's all ours." Chen Feng drove around looking for a seafood platter so the two of them could have a good meal.
After changing their clothes, the two went to a seafood barbecue restaurant. They were in a good mood and ordered a lot of food, filling the table to the brim.
"Chen Feng, no wonder you guys are addicted to gold panning! This is so much fun!" Xia Yingying said excitedly.
"That depends on the environment. We don't usually live by the sea, enjoying the sea breeze and happily picking up gold."
“That desolate wilderness is not a place for humans to stay, and most of the time it depends on luck, so how can you pick it up like that?”
Chen Feng chuckled as he finished eating a skewer of large kidneys.
"So you've always picked them up like this, no wonder you always find good stuff. You have a special ability, huh? What's the use of that special ability?" Xia Yingying asked curiously.
"No, it's just a sixth sense, albeit a fairly accurate one. It can't compare to those fortune tellers or tomb raiders," Chen Feng shook his head.
"That's not bad at all. Aren't you satisfied? If word got out, you'd probably be sliced into pieces," Xia Yingying said with a smile.
"No need for that, what's the point of cutting it? Fortune tellers are the ones who are really outrageous. If anyone's going to cut something, it should be them first," Chen Feng said, taking a sip of his cold beer.
Li Er: "Achoo... I suddenly feel a chill down my back, but there's no wind."
He glanced suspiciously at the window behind him and muttered to himself.
After the two finished their meal, Chen Feng asked Xia Yingying if she wanted to go to the beach again. Xia Yingying shook her head, feeling sore all over.
She hadn't noticed while playing, but now that she's resting, she feels like she can't even lift her arms. She'd better go back and rest, and maybe enjoy the night view tonight.
And so, the two of them wandered around all night, and didn't wake up until after 10 a.m. the next morning.
"Chen Feng, let's go to the beach. The holiday is over today, I don't think there will be too many people," Xia Yingying said with a yawn.
"Okay," Chen Feng said, his arm around her waist, sounding a little lazy.
By the time they finished eating, it was past midnight. When they arrived at the beach again, there were indeed far fewer people, and the beach was mostly empty.
They didn't change into their swimsuits this time either, and just walked down the beach hand in hand, enjoying the sea breeze and walking on the sand.
This feeling of comfort and happiness filled Xia Yingying with contentment.
This is the life she has always dreamed of, and now it has finally come true.
When the two got tired of walking, they sat on the beach, looking at the boundless sea, feeling completely relaxed.
At that moment, three tourists walked past them.
A girl was walking on the beach with a little girl who looked about four or five years old. The girl was very naughty and would kick up a pile of sand from time to time, giggling happily.
The girl had her hair in a ponytail and was incredibly beautiful, the kind of girl who would stand out in a crowd at a glance.
Let's put it this way: when she and Xia Yingying stand together, Chen Feng doesn't even know who looks better.
Behind them was a young man, lazily following behind, his hair blown about in the wind, stubble peeking out, white pants rolled up, and barefoot walking on the beach.
Even though the young man was so casual, it was easy to see that he was really handsome, and his special affability was hard to hide.
Especially when young people pass by, people often turn around and greet them with surprise.
"Teacher Chen!"
"Teacher Chen, I can't believe I've run into you here!"
No matter who greeted him, the young man would simply smile and nod, without the slightest air of superiority, as if he had long been accustomed to this situation.
